- Summary: The complainant made an information request to the British Broadcasting Corporation (the “BBC”) for information about how many domestic league cup games had been broadcast live over Radio Foyle over the 3 years that preceded the request. The BBC refused to provide the requested information claiming that it was outside the scope of the Freedom of Information Act (“the Act”) because it was held for the purposes of journalism, art or literature. The Commissioner is satisfied that the information in question was held for the purpose of journalism, art and literature. Therefore the BBC was not obliged to comply with Parts I to V of the Act.
